Our Troops In Iraq

Brave they stand Giving each other a hand As their efforts demand Going forward by air, water, and land. These are our daughters and sons Taking aim with their guns The pressure weighing tons Being supported by their loved ones. They never waver Going forth as a savior Always in our favor Knowing none are braver. They valiantly fight For what is right With all their might Knowing they may never see the night. Young women and men for all to see Warriors they may be They came across the sea To make all in Iraq free!

I wrote my poem, "Our Troops In Iraq" in 2003 when my youngest son was serving in Iraq as part of the invasion force. He served with the 5th Regiment of the First Marines Division, which Ret. Lt. Col. Oliver North (Fox News) was embedded with. The poem and its video is in honor of all the troops who are serving and have served in Iraq including veterans like my son. The same sincere thoughts extend to all the troops and veterans of the Afghanistan War.
